Seren finds herself in a strange banquet with a ghoul queen, Maximilian confronts the Scarlet King in a mall of memories, and Robert runs from a house of puppet horrors only to rediscover tea time with the Mad Hatter.Each traveler gains a unique companion—Seren has a baby Bandersnatch, Maximilian a porcelain cat, and Robert the Dormouse and the Hatter. Their adventures are just beginning, promising more excitement and intrigue in future episodes.Join us on this bi-weekly release schedule and don't forget to rate us on your podcast platform of choice to help with the algorithm.
